just a journey,

sometimes u fall off, bounce back, try new meditations, learn some new techniques and view points etc just life s***.

Does ckl felli have Buddha nature?

havent meditated in months damn lol

yup. i did it in a major park in new york. i would open my eyes maybe once a minute just to make sure people weren't getting too close but there were a lot of people walking by. it felt really nice to be able to do it in a space where others are also existing

@Biginthegame what posture do you sit in these days?

i usually switch between zazen posture (straight back, extended neck, relaxed shoulders, head tilted down a lil, a smile, and hands forming a complete circle) and regular criss cross apple sauce if im too tired in the mornings (my legs cant go into any lotus position)

or if im too tired for even that, i do walking meditation on my walk to work

how do you fold your legs, lotus, half lotus, Burmese? (walking meditation goated btw, sometimes i literally do a tapping meditation where i just feel what its like to calmly tap a solid surface and feel the sensation enter and exit consciousnesses)

Haven't meditated in 2 weeks, being patient with myself for whenever I do jump back in.

i do like a half assed burmese,i cant fully do it, as i have a deformed legs lol, its not just a flexibility issue sadly. so i usually sit on this bench i have in the dining room

and yeah walking meditation goated. its so soothing, feeling the universe come and go

just do a quick 5 right now broski

burmese goated man so comfy meditating with a blanket wrapped around your entire body seeing the emptiness of all things

it was hell. thanks lol. my mind is all over the place, it's good to know.

it finally clicked again. so grateful man.

yall ever get the sense life is a dream.

But you did it. That’s all that matters. May you be free from suffering 🙏

Yes. Existence is inherently dream like. I think that’s what Sunyata is really talking about. Happy for you bro 🙏

Watch the movie Waking Life

Enjoy…

Often

Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man

“To say that life is a dream acknowledges the ceaseless, boundless quality of emptiness in ourselves, in our loved ones, in our iPhones, airplanes, food, anger, lust, wealth—in everything. Phenomena have no inherent existence; everything arises from emptiness and never separates from emptiness. Yet it’s a lot easier to perceive this with nighttime dreams than to acknowledge our own emptiness by looking in the mirror.”

this a quality read?

My dreams have been getting more lucid and surreal as my consciousness evolves..

A few months ago I dreamt I was in a classroom or school somewhere.. Me and my classmates were trying to solve some problem or do some assignment. It was vivid, like I felt myself doing the calculations we were really talking it out trying to understand..
I woke up and went to work..

S*** is crazy

Its amazing. Theres a gem on damn near every page
